New Kraft MilkBites Review

March 12, 2012 By 3 Comments

If you are a fan of granola, Kraft has a new yummy granola snack bar that you just might want to try.

The new Kraft MilkBites can be found in your dairy isle where they are kept cold. I happen to like granola cold since I usually eat it like cereal, so these are a treat for me. Last week I tried both the Chocolate & Strawberry Kraft MilkBites and I love them both. There are 3 more flavors I have yet to try! I will be definitely buying more the next time I am shopping and see them.

Each of these bars combine real milk with whole grain granola as well as some other ingredients depending on what flavor you choose. Eating one of these bars will give you the same amount of calcium as an 8oz glass of milk.

Right now you can print a coupon to SAVE $1.50 off your next purchase!

If you know me, you know that I LOVE chocolate. Last month when I received a box of Wonka Chocolate bars, I was like a kid in a candy store.

Triple Dazzle Caramel, Fantabulous Fudge, Chocolate Waterfall and Scrumdiddlyumptious

Don’t those names sound good to you?

Not only do these sound good, they taste pretty darn good too!

Out of these 4 Wonka chocolate bars, I think the Triple Dazzle Caramel was my favorite. After my husband and I got our chocolate rush, we were nice and shared with the kids.

Betty Crocker Fun da-middles Review and Giveaway

October 11, 2011 By

I LOVE to bake. I actually have some cookies in the oven while I am writing this review. I like to bake from scratch, but I also enjoy being lazy and baking from box mixes too!

This past week I made cupcakes with a filling in the center. I make cupcakes all the times, but have never been brave enough to try to put something in the middle. That was until I discovered just how easy they are to make with the Betty Crocker Fun da middles cupcake mix.

Now when I make something from a box, it is hard for me not to make changes or maybe add something extra. With this mix, I just had to add food coloring. I thought my son would really get a kick out of blue cupcakes with a white filling, so I added some drops of blue food coloring to the mix before I baked them. I want to mention that before I looked at the instructions, I already thought that making these was going to be complicated. Now after making these and seeing how easy they are, I think I just want to make more filled cupcakes!

The Betty Crocker Fun da-middles is an easy way to make cupcakes at home with a fun surprise inside. These are available in three yummy flavors including: Vanilla Cake with Creamy Chocolate Filling, Chocolate Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling, and Vanilla Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling.  We received the vanilla cake with creamy vanilla filling and I can’t wait to try the other 2 varieties.

Green Mountain Naturals Hot Apple Cider Review – #YourPerfectCup

October 6, 2011 By 2 Comments

Hot Apple Cider for Keurig

I just want to say first of all that I LOVE my Keurig Brewing System. For me, it is like having my own personal beverage bar at home. This year I have been making some delicious coffees, tea, brewed iced tea and this past month I have been drinking some Hot Apple Cider. When I received a box with some of the Green Mountain Naturals Hot Apple Cider Portion Packs for my Keurig, I had to make one. Please note that the day that I received my box of these portion packs, it was HOT. For me , I don’t normally drink anything hot on a hot day, but I had to taste just one cup. It was so YUMMY that I had to make a second cup later that evening.

Hot Apple Cider K-CupsIf you own a Keurig and like hot apple cider, I suggest giving these a try. For me, the brewed hot apple cider has the perfect taste and I didn’t have to add anything to enhance the flavor as I do with coffee. In just seconds I can have a mug of hot apple cider that has just a hint of brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon. I say it is YUMMY and perfect for the Fall season ahead. I need to stock up on these as they went FAST. It is hard not making a second cup each time and I like that they are made with REAL apples!

Another thing I want to mention is the Apple for Teacher Contest that Keurig is running with Green Mountain Naturals Hot Apple Cider. From Sept 30, 2011 to October 28, 2011, you can nominate a teacher that has inspired you are your child on the Green Mountain Naturals Facebook page. The prizes for this contest include a $1,000 Apple Computer gift card, Keurig Brewers, HOt Apple Cider K-Cup portion packs and more. The GRAND PRIZE winner will receive a $10,000 scholarship or donation to their school.

These Hot Apple Cider Portion Packs for the Keurig can be purchased online at www.GreenMountainNaturals.com and www.Keurig.com.

General Mills Cereal Treat Bars Review and Giveaway

September 21, 2011 By

When grocery shopping, I would love to be able to purchase only healthy items for my family to eat, but that does not seem to ever happen. I have a husband and 4 kids and I would get complaints from a few if we didn’t have some snacks that had some sugar involved. I think I might even complain if we didn’t have something for when you need to fulfill those cravings for snacks that are sweet!

General Mills always has products that my family seems to love. We recently discovered their cereal treats and they seem to get eaten very quickly when I put them in our pantry. Now in addition to the General Mills yummy cereals, you can also find Lucky Charms Treats and Golden Grahams Treats.  When it comes to the two, my favorite is definitely the Golden Grahams. They are both good, but there is something about the Golden Grahams Treats that I really like. My husband even said he really liked them too!

Here is some information about these YUMMY treats:

  • Flavor varieties include the ever popular Golden Grahams® (130 calories) and new Lucky Charms® Treats (100 calories), loaded with popular favorites like chocolate and marshmallows.
  • Cereal Treats Bars contain less than 140 calories per bar and are made with wholesome cereal, making them a snack option that you can feel good about giving your kids.
  • TWO Box Tops for Education seals on each box of Cereal Treat Bars, making earning cash for your school doubly cool!

The Donut House Collection By Green Mountain Coffee Review

September 7, 2011 By 6 Comments


For those of you that don’t know, I am part of Keurig’s Your Perfect Cup™ K-Cup® Ambassador Program. Each month I have been getting the opportunity to try a different variety of K-Cups for my Keurig single cup brewer. I have enjoyed most of them, but we have found one that we really enjoy drinking.

Green Mountain Coffee has a line called the Donut House Collection. When I opened my box of Donut House K-Cups, my husband and my daughter become super excited. They were like kids in a candy store, taking the coffee out of the box and putting some of the the portion packs in my K-Cups Carousel. Yes, my daughter gets excited about coffee too! Dad has told her it is okay to drink a cup once i a while as long as she drinks the decaf. When she seen there was Donut House Decaf K-Cups, she yelled in excitement. I thought it was pretty comical my husband and daughter’s excitement over coffee.

So since we received them, they are going like HOT CAKES. There are four different varieties:

  • Donut House Coffee
  • Donut House Decaf
  • Chocolate Glazed Donut
  • Cinnamon Roll

The first ones to go was obvious to me, the Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut. Luckily I was able to try it before they were all gone. The next to go was again obvious, Donut House Cinnamon Roll. Both of these are my two favorites of the four as well as my husband. I will be definitely buying more of these.

So they have this fun little way to SAVE $1.00 at GreenMountainCoffee.com I thought you might want to take advantage. My friend Marlene likes Keurig and has a few brewers, so I dropped some coffee on her. They have a fun little app that you upload a pic of your friend along with their email. They will give an email with a link to a cute little video of you dropping coffee on them along with a code to save $1.00 off.

Marlene, you know you smiled… :)
